“Hello Maker Pipe! My latest MP Build is to make what we call the Beagle Shelf for the truck. We go on long road trips towing a camper, with two very chill beagles. The beagles like to see out the windows (aka “prevents car-sickness”), and we like to put our stuff in the back without getting beagle hair all over it. BUT, we also want to be able to easily clear one seat for a human to sit in the back. AND we want to easily clear out the whole thing if humans need the whole back seat. The whole frame folds down, in two parts. The “extension” can be either removed or telescoped into the bigger side. The top is in two pieces that overlap when extended and stack together when collapsed. We cover the top with a yoga mat and a couple of blankets. The whole thing is strapped to the car seat anchors, so it moves NONE. Hard to get good photos inside a truck, but I tried!
Parts:
3/4 EMT
1/2 EMT
1 telescoping connector
Rubber feet
Endcaps
6 adjustable angle hinge connectors
3 T connectors
2 1-hole conduit straps
2” carriage bolts with knobs
Cam straps for car seat anchors
2 glued wood panel boards
Marine weatherstripping on the top of the supports
Thanks for making these kinds of projects possible!
